Oil Pump Machine Compatibility
Exhaust Filter (White Pump, 310-33 or RVS20-32): Compatible with SECOND generation Vac310 (1-Bar) and Vac310 (2-Bar) chamber vacuum sealers that house the WHITE pump. Continue to the next section.
NOTE: If you own a FIRST generation Vac310 (1-Bar) or Vac310 (2-Bar) chamber vacuum sealer housing a GRAY vacuum pump, then read here for instructions on how to replace the compatible exhaust filter (310-32).
The Importance of an Exhaust Filter to Proper Functioning
The main purpose of the exhaust filter is to provide a reliable form of protection for the vacuum pump system against any excess moisture from liquid products or dust that the vacuum could carry in from the chamber. During operation, the oil is suspended in the air creating an oil mist that is caught and recycled while, simultaneously, any particles are filtered out so that your pump expels clean air. The exhaust filter function encourages the recycling of clean oil and efficient vacuum pump performance.
For an oil pump that can handle pulling 99% of air from the chamber bag, regular upkeep is a must. With proper upkeep, your Vac310 will run proficiently for years to come – well over 10 years is normal! Thankfully, service is made easy on your machines, so you can fit a simple part replacement into almost any busy day.
